MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete review: A robot vacuum that edges past the competition

The MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete combines scrubbing mop power, strong suction, and pet-friendly AI for Singapore homes. With StepMaster threshold climbing and a self-cleaning dock, it delivers one of the most complete cleaning solutions today.

The robot vacuum market is crowded, but the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete manages to stand out with features rarely seen in its category. It is not just another vacuum-and-mop hybrid. Positioned as an 8-in-1 all-rounder, it brings together mopping, vacuuming, carpet care, and self-maintenance into one compact system. This includes HydroForce Mopping with real scrubbing pressure, a self-cleaning mop that combines hot air drying with UV sterilisation, and even a PetMate AI mode that maps around feeding bowls and litter boxes while capturing lighthearted pet photos during cleaning sessions.

For Singapore households, where compact apartments, mixed flooring, and pets are common, these touches bring meaningful advantages. The Z60 is designed to handle challenges that many rival machines still struggle with, such as handling raised edges at doorways, maintaining mop hygiene in humid climates, and reducing tangles from long human or pet hair. With StepMaster climbing abilities of up to 8cm, a mop that constantly refreshes itself during operation, and dual water tanks (4L clean / 3.5L used), it delivers a consistent and hygienic clean across different types of homes.

These innovations also reflect a shift towards making robotic cleaners more autonomous and easier to live with. Instead of being another device that requires frequent attention, the Z60 is designed to manage much of its own upkeep, from drying its mop to refilling the cleaning solution. In a busy household, this combination of power, intelligence, and self-care helps turn deep cleaning into a background routine.

Compact build with a more refined dock design

The MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete builds on the brand’s design language, presenting a sleeker and more polished look while maintaining practicality. The robot itself features a rounded profile compared to earlier models, which softens its edges and lends it a friendlier appearance. It is slim enough to slide under most sofas and low furniture in HDB flats with its retracted DToF sensor, making it well-suited for compact homes.

The dock has also been redesigned with a glossy front panel that gives it a more premium finish, closely resembling the feel of a high-end kitchen appliance. This glossy surface contrasts with the matte look of older docks and blends more naturally into interiors where the base often sits in plain sight. For households where design matters as much as function, this refinement helps the Z60 blend in seamlessly, making it feel like part of the furniture rather than an accessory to hide away.

Unlike the Z50 Ultra, which relied on a track mop system, the Z60 introduces a roller mop design that changes how it tackles floor cleaning. Rather than being a direct upgrade, it offers a different approach within the Z-series lineup. At the same time, it retains the series’ focus on practicality, with separate compartments for clean water, dirty water, detergent solution, and a dust bag system. The 3.2L dust bag can hold up to 100 days of debris, while the 210mL onboard dust box manages waste between auto-empty cycles. This setup enables the robot to refill its mop tank, flush out wastewater, and add detergent for tougher jobs without user involvement.

What distinguishes the Z60 is how these familiar functions have been refined into a single, sleeker unit. The integrated detergent compartment, for instance, ensures floors are not only rinsed with water but also properly cleaned, particularly useful in homes where kitchens and living areas share open layouts. The combination of automatic refilling, waste management, and dust disposal makes the dock function more like a self-sustaining cleaning hub than a simple charging base.

For HDB flats and condominiums where space is at a premium, the Z60’s dock and robot sit neatly against walls or in corners without drawing unnecessary attention. The overall effect is a product that balances elegance with everyday practicality, integrating smoothly into the home while delivering the advanced functions expected of a flagship model.

Real scrubbing mop system with powerful suction

Cleaning performance is where the Z60 truly distinguishes itself. At its core is HydroForce Mopping, which uses a 25.6cm roller mop paired with a 12-nozzle spray system for continuous rinsing. Unlike typical robot vacuums that drag a damp cloth, the Z60 constantly washes and refreshes its mop, reducing cross-contamination and improving consistency. In Singapore’s open-plan homes where kitchens and living rooms share flooring, this is especially valuable.

The mop applies up to 4100Pa of downward pressure, simulating a scrubbing action rather than gliding over tiles. In tests, it scrubbed spilled juice in the kitchen without smearing, leaving a streak-free finish. This makes it practical for homes with children or frequent cooking, where sticky spills are common.

An additional advantage is its AI AutoShield Carpet Care feature, which automatically lowers a protective barrier when mopping near carpets. This ensures rugs and soft flooring remain dry without the need for extra setup or no-go zones.

Vacuuming is equally robust. With the TurboForce 9 Motor generating up to 28,000Pa of suction, the Z60 ranks among the most powerful in its class. Four adjustable levels adapt to various surfaces, including marble tiles, laminate flooring, and rugs. In one test, rice grains and red beans were scattered on a low-pile carpet. The robot picked up the rice in a single pass, while a higher suction mode handled the heavier beans with ease.

Mobility across thresholds and hard-to-reach areas

The Z60 is also engineered to reach difficult areas and overcome obstacles. The MaxiReach system extends the mop roller outward, allowing it to clean right up against skirting boards and corners. In practice, it picked up dust that often lingers along HDB walls where other vacuums struggle.

StepMaster 2.0 features a retractable robotic leg, enabling the Z60 to cross thresholds of up to 4.8cm and even dual-layer steps of up to 8cm. During testing, it transitioned seamlessly from a kitchen to the raised living room without issue. This feature is handy in older flats with uneven flooring.

The LiftPro chassis complements this by adjusting its height depending on the surface. On rugs, it lifted slightly to avoid snagging, then lowered back on tiles for firm mop pressure. Together, StepMaster, LiftPro, and MaxiReach provide the Z60 with full-house coverage without requiring user intervention. This makes it a clear advantage for homes with mixed flooring.

AI-powered intelligence tailored for pet owners

Artificial intelligence is another defining strength. The Z60’s binocular AI sensors recognise over 200 household objects, making it less likely to bump into slippers, toys, or cables. For Singapore homes where floors are often cluttered, this allows smoother, interruption-free cleaning.

PetMate Mode is one of its standout features. Owners can define pet zones around bowls, cages, or litter boxes, and the robot adjusts its cleaning approach accordingly. This ensures hygiene in these areas without startling pets. The app also supports lighthearted extras such as capturing pet photos during cleaning, a fun bonus for owners.

The TroboWave DuoBrush tackles one of the most frustrating issues for pet households: tangled rollers. Using rubber and bristled brushes with airflow optimisation, it captures fur and prevents strands from winding tightly. Capable of handling hair up to 30cm long, it reduces the need for frequent detangling and keeps suction consistent in multi-pet households.

From quick onboarding to deep cleaning customisation

Setup through the MOVAHome app is straightforward. After docking the robot, the app guides users through powering on, pairing via Wi-Fi, and linking to the home network. With clear prompts and voice confirmations, the process typically takes under five minutes — quick enough that most households can start cleaning almost immediately.

Once connected, the app unlocks extensive controls. Users can customise suction, mop wetness, and cleaning routes, or rely on CleanGenius AI to automatically adjust settings. Features like MopExtend swing the mop pad outward along skirting boards, while “Close Mop Cover” prevents carpets from getting wet. StepMaster’s clearance leg settings can also be adjusted for different threshold types, adding flexibility.

Lifestyle-focused features round out the experience. Do Not Disturb mode lowers noise and pauses auto-emptying overnight, while “Hey MOVA” voice commands offer hands-free control. Dedicated Pet Care settings add recognition, activity zones, and pet photo capture. Combined with cleaning logs, maintenance reminders, and real-time tracking, the app serves as a complete command centre tailored to daily routines.

The verdict: MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete

The MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete is a notable entry in the robot vacuum market, offering powerful suction, advanced mopping, and intelligent navigation in a single package. Its real-time mop cleaning, scrubbing pressure, and anti-tangle brushes make it particularly well-suited for households with children and pets.

AI-driven features, such as PetMate Mode and object recognition, reduce interruptions, while mobility systems like StepMaster and LiftPro ensure smooth coverage across mixed flooring. The refined dock and rounded design help it blend into modern homes without compromising function.

In a space crowded with incremental upgrades, the Z60 stands out by solving real pain points, from mop hygiene to tangled rollers. By combining multiple advanced systems in a single unit, it lives up to its positioning as one of the most versatile 8-in-1 cleaning solutions for Singapore households balancing compact layouts, pets, and daily mess.
